Why are you running for office?
I’m a fiscal conservative. I can analyze Oregon’s basic financial problems and offer practical solutions. Those solutions are: reduce the size of Oregon’s government, reduce business regulation and reduce taxes to stimulate our economy while protecting our Second Amendment rights and the right to life for our most vulnerable citizens.
What are the critical issues facing the state? How would you address them if elected?
I will be an advocate
